1. THIS IS CEDILLO,
"strong man of San Luis Potosi”
and an Indian who might pos-
sibly upset Cardenas' applecart.
Long a friend of the president
and his secretary of agriculture,
Cedillo resigned last year, and
radical orators called him "soul
of the rightist movement.” Yet
he, too. had stood for land di-
vision and approved distribution
of part of his own estate Should
he become standard-bearer for
the Mexican conservatives, he
could lead a private army of
18,000 cavalrymen-farmers.

Protests against "special allow-
abies" to meet foreign contracts or
other demand varying the state-
wide order had been voiced both by
individuals and oil associations at
the oil proration hearing held by
the commission on May 17.
It was noted, too, that Commis-
sioner Lon A. Smith did not sign
the new order which continues Sat-
urday and Bunday shut-downs in
all oil fields except Rodessa through
June.
The fields will be closed eight
days during June under the order.
This it was computed was equival-
ent to reducing production 397,154
barrels daily and permitting opera-
tion seven days a week.
It was estimated the June pro-
duction will be approximately 35,000
barrels a day less than in May un-
der the order.
Business conditions and their
consequent effect on oil demand
were a major factor in determining
the oil production schedule*. Com-

4. THESE DISPOSSESSED
OILMEN are leaving their of-
fice after being dispossessed by
the government. It was expro-
priation of 17 British and
American oil companies valued
at 3400,000,000 that put Mexico
in her present spot. "Mexico
for Mexicans” is the revolution's
slogan, but in carrying it out,
Cardenas has stirred up oppo-
sition not only abroad but also
at home. His big problem, now
that Mexico has lost private oil
revenue, is to find enough mon-
ey to run the government.

2 THIS IS CARDENAS,
president of Mexico, an Indian
himself and friend of the In-
dians. In the three years aft-
er he came into power late in
1934, he took 30,500,000 acres of
land from the estates and dis-
tributed them to peons. That
was more acreage than all his
predecessors had distributed
since the agrarian program was
started in 1915. Humbly born,
army trained, Mexico's strong
man has grouped around him
men who are “Cardenistas," no
matter what their economic
theories.

SAN LUIS POTOSI, Mexico, May
34. (UP—Rebel followers of Gen.
Saturnino Cedillo seemed to be dis-
persing today and government of-
ficials asserted that the ousted
military commander's revolution
j had been broken.
The uprising apparently had de-
generated into scattered guerrilla
fighting on a minute scale, bands
of "Cedillistas" were operating in
the mountains tn northern San
Luis Potosi state and in the Nuas-
tega region, but government troops,
aided by airplanes, were closing in
on them.
Cedillo was reported to have es-
tablished headquarters at Monte-
bello. northwest of Ciudad Matz,
from where he broadcast propa-
ganda over his private radio sta-
tion. The government said that .he
had about 300 men with him.
Reports that Cedillo's entire
armed strength numbered 14,000
men were considered ridiculous.
While no official estimate was avail-
able. army men asserted that if he
were that strong he would not evade
a real battle, nor would he divide
, his men Into groups.
J 20 ARMY UNITS
Private, reliable sources close to
the government said that there
were 30 army corporations, equival-
ent to 9,000 men, in San Luis Potosi
state in addition to loyal armed
agrarians It was recalled that last
week Gen. Manuel Avila Camanche,
Farm Cash Income
Shows April Drop
WASHINGTON May 2 - ( _
Fanners cash mcome from mar-
ketings in April totaled $489,000,-
088. compared with 3583.066 000 to
the same month last year, the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
reported today
Ths April total* represented a 18
per cent decline from that of
April, 1837, and a reduction of 4
per cent from the March, 1938. es-
timated income of $512,000,000.
Government benefit payments to
j farmers in April were 880 000.000.
the same amount Sa in March but
83,000,000 less than to April. 1887
Cash Income and benetit payments
combined amounted to 3548 000 000
compared with 3646 000 000 in the
: corresponding month ot 1937,
junction wtth Memorial Day, is to
raise funds for the welfare of dis-
abled veterans, their dependent*
and the widows and orphans of
former soldiers, sailors and marines.
All money collected from the sale
of the Buddy poppies will go to
the welfare fund.
The sale will start early Saturday
morning to continue throughout the
day, Anderson said. Goal of the or-
ganization is to have every Ablleni-
an wearing a Buddy poppy before
sundown.
The Buddy poppies are copy-
righted by the V. F. W. They are
made by disabled veterans in the
government hospitals and collected
during the year for sale during
Memorial Day observances. For
many of the veterans, the poppies
are their only sourde of income.

1. THIS IS THE NATIVE,
the man behind the 20-year
revolution in Mexico. Whether
farm or industrial worker, he
is one of the great Mexican ma-
jority <15,000.000 out of 19,000,-
000 > of pure Indian or mixed
Indian and Spanish blood.
Poor, ignorant, he has found
one of his chief troubles to be
the fact that for centuries"
most of Mexico’s land has been
held in vast estates owned by
the wealthy upper crust. The
revolution's biggest problem has
been to raise his economic
standard.
